Skinny Skinny

I'm totally freaking out about getting older. I'm terrified of getting fat. I have a significant love for cheese, bread, Mexican food, Italian food, and tons of other not so good stuff for you. However, I have found new stuff that is totally yummy and healthy.

Kashi: I'm not a big fan of their granola bars, but I love their cereal. I just bought the Strawberry Fields cereal and it's to DIE for. I also love their Cinnamon Harvest Mini Wheats.

Whole Wheat Pasta: I love pasta and definitely do not consider it a side dish (I read somewhere that it is supposed to be a side dish and never exceed half a cup. Yeah, right). Using whole wheat pasta can significantly lower the calories in pasta. I've also been adding broccoli and asparagus to make it healthier also. Also, I use olive oil (a little) instead of red sauce to cut some calories out.

Fruit: Canned fruit and dried fruit are full of sugar and other things that shouldn't be in fruit. Honestly, the best way to get your fruit servings is just to eat fruit. I buy pre-cut fruit from Kroger and Publix. Easiest way to get the nutrients. And don't add Splenda on it.

V8: I hate tomato juice, but they make cans of juice/veggies that give you one daily serving. I like the blueberry pomegranate mix, but like I said about the sugar issue, drink tons of water also.

Caffeine: Oh....my weakness. I have one soda a day (don't care; not giving it up....ever). I used to never drink water, but I've changed that and drink a ton now. Caffeine won't kill or harm you. Just drink it in moderation.

These are just a few of my favorites. They are tons of other healthy stuff out there, but these are my favorites. If I keep it up, maybe I can look like one of my favorite pros on DWTS. Hah.... :-)
